Shatner 'unhappy with sitcom name change'

William Shatner has criticized CBS executives for renaming his new sitcom $#*! My Dad Says.

The series, which is based on the Twitter feed 'S**t My Dad Says', was given a censored title in order to be suitable for television but Shatner admitted that he is unhappy with the decision, reports the New York Post.

“I wish they would just call it ‘S**t’,” he said.

“What's wrong with it?... I brought up three girls. They've all got kids. Okay? And you say, 'Boopy doo-doo, you've got to make poo-poo. Come on. Make poo-poo in the toilet'. Eventually, 'poo-poo' becomes 's**t'. 'Go take a s**t, and you'll feel better'. You say that to your kids."

He continued: "The word 's**t' is around us. It isn't a terrible term. It's a natural function. Why are we pussyfooting?”

Shatner recently revealed that the show will expand upon the original Twitter feed.
